replied: a
eyes, I am ready; is he there
himself?"
The other, whom he recognized as
Pauline, replied that che was at the
back gate" Then the two females
met and entered the carriage and
were driven off by the man whom
Giles "did not know, but thought
he looked as if he might be the gen
tleman who came to see Miss Cely
while mas Joe was gone last win
ter"
Then Inkey proceeded to inform
me that "Miss Cely had cousin, a
'Mr. Dawtry,' from Augusta, who
used to come and stay several days
at time in DR.. Barron's absence,
but as [ felt no interest in that part
of the story [ did not remain to hear
more.
[ was rather surprised that DR..
| Barron took no measures to asCer-
tain the whereabouts of his wife, but
he seemed rather relieved than other
wise, and | have since had reason to
believe that he was quite content to
let her drop out of his life.
CHAPTER XXVII.
Philip Sterling remained to din
der, and in the afternoon walked
over to Ravenwood, promising to re-
turn early the next morning, which
he did soon after breakfast, asking
for DIR. Barron as soon as he arrived,
and the two walked together out of
the house and through the gate, in
close and earnest conversation. He
had only made brief enquiry about
Winnie, who had not yet risen, as L
directed Rena "never to waken her
as long as her sleep was quiet and
natural" I had taken upon myself
to remove every vial, or box, or pa
per which contained any kind of
opiates-laudanum, morphine, chlo-
raj, cloroform, &C., &C., there being
such an array of these that [ began
to think they had much to do with
the condition of the poor girls brain.
Not one had been administered since
Pauline's departure. DR.. Walker
came while Philip and Dr. Barron
were out, and / told him what L had
done, which he warmly approved,
and suggested substitutes in ga large
bottle of camphor," !" "another of CO.
logne," and a mild and pleasant
"tonic" which he prepared himself.
He also proposed that pleasant
: and comfortable seat should be
arranged for her down stairs, and
that as soon as she was dressed and
) had taken her breakfast, she should
come down, which in due time was
accomplished, to her own great de-
, light. When I proposed lifting her
to bring her down stairs, she laughed
: brightly, saying:
"Why, | have never lost the use
of my feet, have l %
She wore the same morning wrap
! per that she had on the day before,
!. and now that she had delicate tinge
: pink on her fair cheeks, she looked
| more beautiful than ever. She was
e rapidly gaining strength, and hel
r mind seemed to have quite recovered
7 its health and tone.
r Mrs. Vivian had sent by DIR
e Walker large boquet of flowers
> which he placed in my hands, say
ing, as he did so:
4 "You see [ am an important and
Y useful parsonage, having to fill the
a offices of Ganymede, Cupid, Mer.
r curry, Esculapius, and Kdon't know

e a mock serious tone, 81 wonder if h
It will ever stand any chance of beins

it. 3sOf course you will, in thousan,

+ ers in a large vase, and then carrie'
= them into the sitting-room, where
n placed them upon stand close b
